00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:13.115
So they've been like my main
connection to other human beings

2
00:00:13.115 --> 00:00:15.160
over the last seven years.

3
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.183
They didn't realize that for
years, outside of my family, it

4
00:00:19.183 --> 00:00:23.296
was really the only conversation
or connection I had because I

5
00:00:23.296 --> 00:00:27.279
went to the library, the post
office, and the grocery store.

6
00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:33.334
I kind of realized through
therapy that I had severe Abora

7
00:00:33.334 --> 00:00:37.805
phobia and I really wanted to
enter in, but I was nervous and

8
00:00:37.805 --> 00:00:39.320
they didn't know how.

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.046
So because they were really
engaging and kind, I ended up

10
00:00:46.046 --> 00:00:51.280
going to some meetings and
joining in some programs.

11
00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:59.808
They've just really helped me
engage and meet other people in

12
00:00:59.808 --> 00:01:05.699
the community because other
people come and so it's just

13
00:01:05.699 --> 00:01:08.800
been such a safe space for me.
